Tell us what’s happening:
I saw ppl use for loop and I wonder if I need that. I think I have a mistake in naming the prop search and it’s value.

any hints plz!

Your code so far


//Setup
var contacts = [
    {
        "firstName": "Akira",
        "lastName": "Laine",
        "number": "0543236543",
        "likes": ["Pizza", "Coding", "Brownie Points"]
    },
    {
        "firstName": "Harry",
        "lastName": "Potter",
        "number": "0994372684",
        "likes": ["Hogwarts", "Magic", "Hagrid"]
    },
    {
        "firstName": "Sherlock",
        "lastName": "Holmes",
        "number": "0487345643",
        "likes": ["Intriguing Cases", "Violin"]
    },
    {
        "firstName": "Kristian",
        "lastName": "Vos",
        "number": "unknown",
        "likes": ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"]
    }
];


function lookUpProfile(name, prop){
// Only change code below this line
if (name=="firstName"&&prop==contacts.hasOwnProperty("")){
  return prop[value];
}else if(name!=="firstName"){
  return "No such contact";
}else if(prop!==contacts.hasOwnProperty("")){
  return "No such property";
}
// Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

What is the point here? Are you trying to determine if contacts has its own property prop? If this is the case, then replace this with contacts.hasOwnProperty(prop). This function returns a boolean value.
